SUMMARY:Diagnosis and Treatment of PTSD in Emergency Service Workers
DESCRIPTION:Duration\n3hrs \n\n\n \n\n\nProgram Outline\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: All times listed are AEDT/AEST \nGPs often play a central role in the provision of healthcare to communities in the immediate\, acute phase of emergency situations\, and on an ongoing basis for the long-term recovery of individuals and their broader community. \nEmergency Service Workers are one of the high-risk groups for trauma exposure and are more vulnerable to developing mental health problems. These mental health conditions have significant impact on their employment\, family/relationships\, and wellbeing. \nThis workshop has been designed with a focus on GPs\, to diagnose patients with acute stress disorder\, post-traumatic stress disorder and other comorbidities. Evidence based guidelines will be used as the foundation to appropriately diagnose and identify treatment pathways including recommended referrals\, trauma focused psychological therapy and psychological first aid to help support their management of emergency service workers. The training may also be relevant to other health professionals. \nThis training aims to increase participants’ skills and confidence to: \n\nUnderstand the relationship between traumatic events and the development of mental health conditions\nIdentify evidence-based treatment and referral pathways for a patient impacted by trauma\nRecommend evidence-based resources\, including e-Mental Health\, for family/kinship groups impacted by trauma\n\nTESTIMONIALS \n\n“The experience of trauma in our community has been very widespread and deeply felt over the past 12 or so months\, with the 2019-2020 summer bushfires and then the COVID pandemic. This program is excellent for both reviewing skills and knowledge and also up-skilling the varied health professionals who are often the frontline contacts for support from emergency and other workers and their families experiencing symptoms of PTSD. It has been\, for me\, one of the most valuable 3 hours of clinical training I have participated in.” Participant 2nd March 2021\n“This was great course\, especially for a rural based GP. I would strongly recommend all my colleagues to enrol in it.” Participant 11th March 2021\n“This was an excellent course\, very well delivered and relevant to general practice. It is especially relevant in the present times of floods\, fires and COVID!” Participant 25th March 2021\n\nFUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM \nThe Grant Program for National Emergency Workers Support Services\, including PTSD trauma services\, is funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Health\, Disability and Aged Care. \nSELF-CARE NOTE \nThis workshop discusses PTSD and trauma. We understand this can be a difficult topic to discuss\, especially for people who have lived experience of PTSD. We ask you to take care of your mental health and wellbeing when deciding to attend this workshop. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nAccreditation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3 CPD hours incl. 2.5 hrs Education Activity & .5 hrs Reviewing Performance (RACGP and ACRRM)\nMental Health CPD (GPMHSC)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nSuitable for\n\nAllied Health;Counsellors;GP Registrars;GPs;Multi-disciplinary;Psychologists;Other mental health professionals;Psychiatrists \n\n\n\n \n\n\nTopics Covered\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding the context of Emergency Service Workers\nDiagnosing PTSD\nYour role\nSelf-care for practitioners\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecognise responses to trauma in emergency service workers\, their families and kinship groups\nIdentify validated screening and assessment tools for common mental health conditions related to trauma\nApply evidence-based treatment/management plan for a patient impacted by trauma\nIdentify a range of appropriate referral pathways and collaborative care options\nIdentify and use self-care strategies and resources to manage their own mental health and wellbeing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Short Mental Health Interventions: Surviving the Complaints Process
DESCRIPTION:As health practitioners we are all aware that there is a possibility\, maybe even a probability\, that at some time in our careers a complaint will be made about us to our registration body. \nIn this webinar Dr Jan Orman will talk to Dr Kathryn Hutt\, Director of the Doctors Health Advisory Service in NSW\, a GP with experience working for both AHPRA and a large professional indemnity provider as well as with doctors in distress. \nThey will discuss the realities of the health practitioner complaints process with special emphasis on the ways in which we can maintain our personal wellbeing in what is always a challenging and potentially very distressing process. \nMental health is the number one reason people see their GPs*\, yet GPs are time poor and wait times to see psychologists are long. The need for mental health care is growing faster than specialised support and services are\, leaving a gap in patient care. \nThis webinar series aims to provide GPs and other health professionals with skills to ‘fill the gap’ in providing mental health care to their patients using a range of brief interventions. Each webinar will be a discussion about the specific intervention and tips on how to use it effectively with your patients. \nFacilitator: \n\nDr Jan Orman\n\nGuest \n\nDr Kathryn Hutt\n\nBook this course online: https://black-dog-institute.my.salesforce-sites.com/forms/bdi_EducationMasterCourseIndividual?mstrCrsId=a1KUu0000082K7hMAE`
